Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State vs. Michigan

[Sooner Lion]

Our defense is a B12 defense. Not enough size up front, not enough size at LB. We are built to defend the pass.

 

[LandoComando]

Held them to three--that a win
If McCarthy's accurate on that 3rd down play it's aTD though

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Where is Terry Smith on coaching Porter? I just don't get it. Game after game. Is Smith afraid of dad?

 

[j-buff]

The penalty was legit just stupid on Porters part

 

[07mantle]

Bullshit call right from the start........

Agree

Bullshit call right from the start........

AGREE… bullshit call … it wasn’t as if the runner wasn’t still ‘playing the play’

 

[IANit]

Praying that Good Clifford shows up.

Yupp

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

No Landon Tengwall for Penn State.

 

[Richie O]

Hunter Nourzad is back and got the start at LG today

 

[LandoComando]

3 & out isn't the way you want to start

 

[PSUcup1]

Cadean Wallace blows

 

[rrdd2021]

PSU OL really looks shaky right now. Right side totally collapsed on that 3rd down play

 

[manilion]

Lol. Worst short yardage team I have ever seen. Pathetic.

 

[NCLION]

We are going to have to pass downfield to win
why are we not working Tinsley and Washington downfield more

 

[christoph]

Michigan D is teeing off

 

[scrivener]

3rd and short will be the story of the game...3rd downs in general. For all the stats that people look at mattering, I think 3rd down is crucial. Usually we aren't very good

 

[tlbakernc]

Interior of line blown up on that play

 

[christoph]

Let’s hand off 7 yards deep on 3rd and one. Give the whole D a chance to get there!

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Kinda baffled why we didn't run KA over left-side - left-side blocks with far more explosion than right-side.

 

[WreslingFan0314]

Thought that was a bit of a soft call by the refs.

It was less about the severity of the act than the fact it was well after the whistle.

 

[LandoComando]

We knew Michigan was going to prioritize stopping the run and pressuring Cliff. Yeah, not what we wanted on the first drive but I'm not worried about the offense yet. A little worried about the D if they're going to play soft especially if they play soft behind the blitz.

 

[tlbakernc]

Lol. Worst short yardage team I have ever seen. Pathetic.

Going to need to run Clifford more in this game. Pull the ball get it yourself.

 

[Waltwam]

Interior of line blown up on that play

Disappointed we are so predictable on that first possession

 

[j-buff]

Why not a QB sneak

 

[LandoComando]

Wow, that was a nice throw by JJ--not mad at the D on that one

 

[NCLION]

Getting mauled

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

and there's the play action that McCarthy has thrived on all season.

 

[WreslingFan0314]

Agree

AGREE… bullshit call … it wasn’t as if the runner wasn’t still ‘playing the play’

Listening makes a difference. The whistle blew well before it and several times. No BS at all. It was an overaggressive play.

 

[j-buff]

We’re screwed

 

[scrivener]

Our DBs are getting smoked by the ball carriers...giving up so much ground trying to make the tackle. Disappointing.

 

[rrdd2021]

Let’s hand off 7 yards deep on 3rd and one. Give the whole D a chance to get there!

Just stupid - agree

 

[LandoComando]

If they don't at least slow the run it's going to be a very long day

 

[NCLION]

They have us well scouted
Can Diaz adjust?

 

[christoph]

So far looking pretty dark. They are way better so far

 

[NCLION]

I fear wood shed coming

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

If Penn State is going to keep Tyler Elsdon on Corum throughout today, this is going to be an ugly one.

 

[LandoComando]

So far looking pretty dark. They are way better so far

People kept telling me the talent was the same so is this coaching?
Michigan looks very prepared

 

[rrdd2021]

So far looking pretty dark. They are way better so far

So far. Long way to go

 

[tlbakernc]

Being out executed with their offense.

 

[christoph]

This is what having an oline looks like
